Whitlam is now dead and has met his idols Marx, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin in Hell. Under his government, the White Australia policy was abolished officially by law and his tenure in government pretty much marks the nose dive of Australia into the mess it is now in.

The Whitlam government removed race as a criterion for immigration, introducing a new test based on qualifications and family ties that saw Asia become the main source of new migrants. Al Grassby, the flamboyant immigration minister, introduced Australia to multiculturalism.

The reforms met bitter opposition, as did the laws granting Aboriginal land rights in the Northern Territory (passed under the Fraser government) and overriding Queensland's paternalistic legislation governing Aboriginal communities. Yet, 40 years later, Aboriginal land rights, Asian immigration, and multiculturalism are accepted by both sides of politics.

Re: Whitlam dead, now burn in Hell

I was an apprentice in the early 1960's working in a union dominated factory where I fell under the influence of the left. I joined the ALP and was active in ALP campaigning for the then shadow treasure Bill Hayden: the Member for Moreton. I was at his celebration party the night of the ALP victory and was full of glee .

Their term quickly turned into a fiasco with the likes of: Jim Cairns and Al Grasby. My political viewpoint began to turn to the Right. Australia has rapidly degenerated into the present multicultural shambles we have to face every day now, all thanks to Whitlam and Co. and the sequence of gutless major party politcians who have followed.

I haven't thought about that asshole Whitlam and his cronies Jim Cairns and Al Grasby for a long time. Oh I almost forgot their old pal Mal Colston ripping off our tax dollars.

I wanted to puke when the Sydney radio stations were reporting on his death that he was "Australia's most loved Prime Minister"

And why should Whitlam and Cairns (he finally admitted he was race mixing and banging Asian slut Juni Morosi) still retain the title of "Honorable"? They should have been stripped of all titles, pensions and other benefits our parasitic politicians give themselves, then taken out and shot.
